THE annual bonfire and firework display in Sinnington has been cancelled due to safety issues.
Members of the parish council decided they could not longer hold the event on November 5 because of the insurance implications.
Roger Hudson, from the council, said: “Unfortunately the annual bonfire had become unmanageable due to the numbers attending and we have decided to cancel this year’s event because of safety issues.
“We will look at other options in the future.”
The sportsfield committee in Slingsby has been forced to cancel their bonfire and firework display due to dwindling donations.
